About the Position
The Project Manager will play a critical role on the SureAdhere Customer Success team, driving successful software implementations and long-term value for our diverse clients across public health and clinical trials. This position is designed for an agile, highly curious professional who is a strong project manager with a deep interest in data, clinical trial operations, and technology. In this role, as an expert in the SureAdhere product, you will act as a pivotal link between our technology and real-world impact, ensuring that digital health and adherence programs run smoothly.
A significant portion of your day-to-day work will involve direct, hands-on execution. This is a role for a collaborative problem-solver who possesses the patience to dive deep into complex data investigations, the adaptability to test and optimize technical features alongside our development team, and the drive to constantly improve team processes and client enablement by leveraging modern digital tools, including AI and data analytics platform integrations. While the majority of this role is focused on supporting the SureAdhere clinical trials portfolio, you will also play a critical role in supporting our public health clients throughout their lifecycle.
